to whom this my cocern: was recently employed be a trucking

Resolved Question:

To Whom This My Cocern: was recently employed be a Trucking Company in 2008,which i was Empolyed there for nearly five year's which now ive become ill from being with this Company,it all started in Aug of 2011 with my Safety Mannnager laying me off do to unknown reason's, is there any way we can staigthen this out? because it leave's me without.. and now i'm not sure which way to turn.

The law is that if the employer knows you have a disability and we've established that the employer does, not only is it unlawful for the employer to treat you unfairly because of this disability (that a clear case of discrimination) but the law goes further.

It is also discrimination if the employer does not take all reasonable steps to accommodate your disability. The only valid reason for an employer not to accommodate your disability would be if the employer can show that this accommodation would cause undue hardship.

So it sounds to me that the employer is guilty of discrimination on the basis of disability.

And for this reason I suggest that you take two steps.

First, I suggest that you contact the Human Rights Commission, speak to someone there and find out if they believe you have reasons to file a complaint.
